[PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Fix supported VM_TYPES caps

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix a goof where KVM fails to re-initialize the set of supported VM types,
resulting in KVM overreporting the set of supported types when a vendor
module is reloaded with incompatible settings.  E.g. unload kvm-intel.ko,
reload with ept=0, and KVM will incorrectly treat SW_PROTECTED_VM as
supported.

Fix a similar long-standing bug with supported_mce_cap that is much less
benign, and then harden against us making the same mistake in the future.

Sean Christopherson (3):
  KVM: x86: Fully re-initialize supported_vm_types on vendor module load
  KVM: x86: Fully re-initialize supported_mce_cap on vendor module load
  KVM: x86: Explicitly zero kvm_caps during vendor module load
